Dear Mr. Dietch:

We have been reviewing the failure of the San Onofre Unit No. 1 Salt Water Cooling System on March 10, 1980, and your transmittals on the subject dated July 24, and August 8, 1980 and find that we need further information to properly evaluate the significance of the event. We, therefore, ask that you provide the following information:

1. The supporting calculations and data used in determining the time and temperature limits cited in the response. Of particular interest is the basis for the 200OF limit indicated for the component cooling water system. Equipment design limitations should be explicitly referenced.
2. The following information regarding the desiccant in the compressed air system referenced in the response to Question 2.B:
a.

When the desiccant presence was identified.

b. Any evaluations performed to determine the effects of the desiccant on equipment performance; particularly common mode failures, and/or the extent of the contamination.
c. Any actions taken to remove the desiccant and prevent recurrence of the contamination.
d. 'A list of safety-related equipment presently supplied by the compressed air system. Those pieces of equip ment where the desiccant contamination has been identified should also be noted.
3. Any plans to extend the preventative maintenance programs to areas outside the saltwater cooling system.

Please provide the above information within 20 days of your receipt of this letter. After we have evaluated your response to the above request, we would like to meet with your staff to discuss the analysis in more detail.
